The Eureka Southern was one of the more colorful and scenic shortlines in California during its all too short life trying to operate the north end of the former NWP.

The famous Adler Steam engine from BlueBrixx is really a great set. Motorized with 9V, running smoothly. But the weight is high, so the axles have been replaced by original Lego ones.

From Wiki -
4767 was completed on the last day of the LMS, 31 December 1947 at Crewe Works. It was unique amongst the 842-strong class in that it featured outside Stephenson link motion in addition to other experimental features; a double chimney, Timken roller bearings throughout and electric lighting.
These modifications were part of a series of experiments by George Ivatt to improve the already excellent William Stanier-designed Black Five.
4767 was renumbered 44767 by British Railways after nationalisation in 1948. Its double chimney was removed in 1953. It was withdrawn in December 1967 after a working life of only 20 years.

It's early morning and the American Freedom Train has wrapped up its visit to Sacramento. As the sky lightens up over the Sierra 4449 is shoving it's train back along SP's double track onto what it will use as the tail track - the east end of the Elvas Wye and the mainline toward Roseville. Once clear of the east switch, the 4449 will reverse direction and take the Stockton Subdivision down the Valley for its next stop in Fresno. Sacramento Street lights are still illuminated as 4449's exhaust wafts over the 11 masted code line poles into downtown Sacramento.

River Irt (0-8-2)
Year of Build: 1894
Wheel arrangement: 0-8-2
Length: 24ft
Colour: Mid Green
Originally built by Sir Arthur Heywood in 1894 and named Muriel, River Irt is the oldest working 15 inch gauge locomotive in the world. It is believed she saw service at the munitions factory in Gretna (as 0-8-0T Muriel) before arriving at Ravenglass in 1917 where she was subsequently rebuilt and renamed in 1927. In 1972 she changed appearance again to a style closer to her original outline with a taller chimney, dome and cab profile, whilst retaining her power and reliability as well as her historic fabric. She still hauls heavy trains capably even though she is now over 100 years old.
No. 90 hauls a train of logs just south of Cook Creek on the newly relocated mainline. In the distance are some of the foothills of Olympic National Park. The new grade and heavier rail was required for the diesels that would soon arrive. Regular steam operation ended in 1962, but a few steamers were used in backup service until 1967. The railroad itself survived until 1984.

Whillan Beck (4-6-2)
Year of Build: 1929
Wheel arrangement: 4-6-2
Length: 24ft
Colour: Caledonian Railway Blue.
The most recent addition to our fleet, Whillan Beck was officially launched into service this May. Originally built to run at the Ibero-American Exposition in Seville and following nearly 90 years out of action, the engine, originally named Pinta, was restored in Barcelona but hadn't been steamed. Following another two years of work by the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Preservation Society the engine is now in full working order and can be spotted at the front of our trains very regularly!

River Mite (2-8-2)
Year of Build: 1966
Wheel arrangement: 2-8-2
Length: 24ft
Colour: Furness Railway Dark Red
River Mite is owned by the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Preservation Society, and first entered service in 1967. Built by Clarkson’s of York using components from River Esk’s steam tender, the engine made history when it was delivered to Ravenglass by traction engine. River Mite attracted a great deal of publicity when new, her distinctive Indian Red Livery from the old Furness Railway sets her apart from similiar River Esk features. She has travelled as far as Dresden in Germany as an ambassador for the R & ER.
I recall in the fifth grade the teacher in the late fifties allowed us to see from our school windows the last voyage of a steam engine. Could this be the one?

Steam Engine Driven 3-Phase 415 Volts - 50Hz Alternator
This two crank compound ‘V’ type steam engine was built in 1916 by Belliss and Morcom in Birmingham, England, for the United Alkali[ne] Company based in Lancashire. Presumably it was sold on because it did not arrive at London Brick Company, (LBC) Warboys works in Cambridgeshire until about 1937. When it arrived it was coupled to a new 1935 Belgian 3-Phase alternator; the steam engine was rated at 368 bhp at a speed of 375 rpm.
